Great for a short stay

It was a wonderful centrally located hotel. The staff was helpful and the bar open late so while the rooms were a bit small and the ac did not work all that well, we were still happy with our stay for what we needed. If we were staying longer than a few nights I might have chosen another hotel but for only a couple nights and wanting to be near everything in downtown Dublin it was perfect.

Staff was lovely, location perfect and beds super comfortable. A/C was a little tricky but the fan they brought worked! Such a fun neighborhood that we weren’t in the room much anyway! We walked all over Dublin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

All good Just way too expensive Almost 400 euro for one night and not even a breakfast. I appreciate this may be indicative of the dublin market on a saturday night but reallu is excessive and wouldnt encourage repeat business or dublin as an attraction

Great Place to Stay!

Exactly as described! Great location, helpful staff, and nice eco-friendly touches. Only downside was the homeless persons who made a sleeping area out by their trash bins. My husband witnessed one injecting heroine…so incredibly sad.

Really enjoyed this spot in the middle of temple bar. The room is tiny but has everything you need, and everything was very clean and convenient. There’s a place to refill for filtered water and the restaurant was very equipped. I would definitely recommend staying here as a solo female traveler or as a couple.

A cool eco friendly hotel right in the middle of exciting Temple Bar. The Wren's Nest is in a fantastic location within walking distance of so many great pubs, bars and starting locations of walking tours. The room is very well thought out with no wasted space. If you need an extra chair or couch to sprawl out on, this isn't the place for you. If you love a cozy well put together space then you'll love it here. The staff was very nice and helpful. We didn't eat here but the breakfast buffet looked and smelled delicious I would definitely stay here again.

I loved the style and idea of this hotel with the super compact and snug rooms and ideal with prices for property in Dublin. Perfect for a business traveler but would be a tight squeeze for a couple. Love all the attention to detail and luxury touches in the room although I daresay the Aircon needs a good clean as I only had it on for half an hour and made me cough.

Amazing find

This was an amazing last minute find! The property was so cute and had so many spots to take great photos. It was centrally located so we walked everywhere and it’s super safe. The on-site bar was such a chill place to kick back and have drinks in a quieter atmosphere. Will DEFINITELY be staying here again.

Best location. I appreciated the size - I find that there's a lot of wasted space in typical hotel rooms anyway. Staff was fantastic. My best recommendation is to check out Fallon & Byrne around the corner - it's a high end market that has great items for picnics and other food to go. I also picked up a pair of hiking shoes at Trespass around the other corner; there are a number of outdoor-outfitter shops on this block. Irish Design Shop is also just a block away.
